The light. The feeling of seeing something forbidden. The triangular effect of the trees shading the focal point of the subjects. It’s all great.

Sotheby’s sells Koons.
This piece by Jeff Koons, titled The Pink Panther, recently sold at a Sotheby’s auction for a whopping $16,882,500 (this incredible amount was surprisingly a disappointment…It was estimated to sell for $20,000,000). It is classified as contemporary pop art and Koons’ remarked that his piece was “a piece of cultural history”. There is definitely a sexual aspect to the piece and, if one stares at it for long enough, it may conjure images of a Bernini or a Rodin in all of it’s sensual, twisted, and aloof substance.
My question is this…
Is it worth it? Why?
